"Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth."
— Psalms 124:6, Bible in Basic English
“The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.”
They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
